I'll add my 2 cents worth here. I had a wonderful B&W that in fact became my favorite Mac of all time. I had some connection problems with the stock Global Village modem under OS 9.X but after going to OS X it was solid and steady (My son still uses the B&W while I'm stuck with a Sawtooth that's been nothing but a headache - anyone wanna trade??). So I am a fan of the Global Village internal, at least under OS X. I don't think that it's actually that high priced though. In addition to the links that Abbe provided you might also check out Wegener Media (www.wegenermedia.com). I know that some people on some of these lists have had some problems with them, but I have personally had several good experiences with them and they have the modems for $15.00 (click on the "specials" page and scroll down to "modems). Of course YMMV, but I think that the B&W should make you pretty happy! Sam Strong Henley Middle School -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
